The = operater is case sensitive.  LIKE is not.  'aa' LIKE 'AA' is  
true but 'aa'='AA' is false.

The previous paragraph is true by default.  There are ways of changing  
the default.  For example, if you declare a column to be COLLATE  
NOCASE then it will not be case sensitive (for US-ASCII characters).   
And there is a PRAGMA that will make LIKE case sensitive.
